The extent of overlap of atomic orbitals decreases from F2 to I2 in the series. This is due to an increase in the size of the atoms and therefore a larger distance between their nuclei, leading to weaker orbital overlap.
Yes, the atomic radii of d-block elements are generally smaller than p-block elements due to greater effective nuclear charge resulting from the filling of d orbitals that shield the outer electrons less effectively compared to p orbitals. This leads to stronger attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons, resulting in a smaller atomic size for d-block elements.
Atomic radius is a measure of the size of an atom, typically defined as half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element that are bonded together. It represents the average distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell. Atomic radius generally decreases across a period on the periodic table and increases down a group.
The 4d orbitals are larger in size and have higher energy levels compared to the 3d orbitals. They have more complex shapes due to the presence of an additional orbital shell, resulting in different spatial orientations and lobes. The 4d orbitals also have a larger number of nodes, which affects their electron density distribution.
The element with the smallest atomic size is Argon (Ar) as it has the highest atomic number among the options given. Atomic size generally decreases from left to right across a period in the periodic table.
Atomic size is defined as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron in an atom. Since electrons occupy regions of space called orbitals, which have fuzzy boundaries, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact boundary of an atom. Additionally, the electron cloud distribution is not uniform, making the atomic size less precise.
Think of the sun as the nucleus and the oort cloud (past pluto) as where the electron orbitals start. The size (volume) of the nucleus is tiny compared to the size (volume) of the atom (defined by the extent of the electron cloud).
Hybridization of atomic orbitals is the intermixing of atomic orbitals having a approximate energy to form equal number of hybrid orbitals having the same shape, size and energy but pointing in different directions. The new orbitals which are formed are "hybrids" of the originals and have properties that are somewhere in between. For example, a common hybridization is sp3 where three p orbitals combine with an s orbital to form four new orbitals. Other combinations (such as sp and sp2) are also possible.
Relative contraction of atomic orbitals refers to the process of adjusting the size and shape of atomic orbitals to better represent the electron distribution in a molecule, particularly in the context of molecular orbitals. This is often done in computational chemistry to optimize the accuracy of calculations for molecular structures and properties by balancing computational efficiency with the need for detailed electronic information. By using contracted basis sets, chemists can simplify complex calculations while maintaining an adequate representation of the electron cloud.
No, size is not an atomic orbital itself; rather, atomic orbitals are regions in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons. Each orbital has a specific shape and energy level, which influences the distribution of electrons around the nucleus. The "size" of an atomic orbital can be described in terms of its principal quantum number and the spatial extent of the electron density, but it is not a standalone concept.
At an atomic level they cannot be exactly the same shape or size.
As the energy levels of atomic orbitals increase, the shapes of the orbitals become more complex. For instance, the s orbitals are spherical, while p orbitals have a dumbbell shape, and d orbitals exhibit more intricate cloverleaf patterns. Higher energy levels introduce f orbitals, which have even more complex shapes. Overall, as energy increases, the orbitals not only expand in size but also become increasingly varied in their geometrical configurations.

The size of d orbitals generally increases with the principal quantum number (n) and the number of electrons in the orbitals. In the context of silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and chlorine (Cl), these elements primarily utilize s and p orbitals in their bonding, as they are located in the second and third periods of the periodic table. However, if we consider the energy levels and trends, the size of d orbitals would follow the order of increasing atomic number, with phosphorus having the lowest energy d orbitals, followed by sulfur, chlorine, and then silicon, which has no d orbitals in its ground state. Thus, the order would not directly apply to these elements since Si, P, S, and Cl have no d orbitals in their valence shells.
the metallic bonding is not very stong among the atoms due to larger atomic size and full filled 'd' orbitals in Hg....
Yes, all s orbitals have the same size, regardless of the energy level they are in. This is because s orbitals are spherical in shape with the electron density focused around the nucleus.
